Rick Perry Refuses Offer From Obama to Shake His Hand When He Lands in Texas

Americans aren’t too thrilled with the Obama administration’s brilliant plan to enable the flooding of our borders by illegal immigrants, and evidently, that includes Texas Governor Rick Perry. When King President Obama offered to give Perry the chance to shake his hand on the tarmac after landing in Texas, Perry replied by saying thanks, but no thanks.

The governor’s office says the White House extended an invitation to Perry to meet Obama on the tarmac when he arrives for Democratic fundraisers in Dallas and Austin. However, Perry refused the offer, asking instead to meet with Obama in private to discuss the high number of unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.

“I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, but a quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas,” Perry wrote Monday in a letter to the president. “I would instead offer to meet with you at any time during your visit to Texas for a substantive meeting to discuss this critical issue.”

The Texas governor has been a vocal critic of the president’s handling of the situation at the border, repeatedly suggesting that the administration is “in on this somehow.”

Of course, all Obama wants is for people to fall to their knees as they kiss his ring, thrilled to just have the chance to bask in his radiance. It’s just too bad Rick Perry actually cares more about his constituents than meeting the Celebrity-in-Chief and ruined all the fun.

Lmao all these white people on here forget how all of us are immigrants or their parents and so forth. I should be so lucky to be racist and white so I too can get thumbs up on my comment. Maybe I should also use terms like communist incorrectly for those bonus likes.

my forefathers made it into this country illegally so everybody else can get fucked now.

The premise of th story is bull. He did no refuse to shake his hand in any way at all. He did not want to meet publically, which is usually how a coward or someone with something to hide would do. He claims that somehow the administration is behind this immigration nightmare is ridiculous, not to mention without any proof at all. Immigation starting be a problem in this country when the first settler arrived and took it for their own from itsthen rightful owners..let he without sin cast the stones

The POTUS is really getting his head handed to him this summer, Even the press and his party are beginning to give him instructions. If he didn’t have to fund raise, he would bury himself in a hole and wait for the next news cycle. The problem is that he has blundered so much the last 6 years, there is no pause now, it just keeps slapping him in the face.

Rick Perry thinks Obama’s trying to get people who want to work and support their children and raise future hard workers (I’ve never worked with a Mexican immigrant, legal or not, who didn’t work ten times harder than most natural born citizens), oh no, the humanity. Is he upset because there’s more people coming to raise the bar that so desperately needs raised on quality of labor in order to bring US factories back to our own shores, or is he upset because he doesn’t actually have a shred of evidence to back his claims? I could make the claim that the entire goal of the modern Republican party is to sell the United States to corporations piece by piece, and I in fact, believe it is a logical conclusion, considering the moves made by the Republican members of the Supreme Court, every move made by the party since the Reagan administration (huge corporate puppet if I ever saw one), and their choice in the most recent Presidential candidate in the last election, a man who made a living selling US businesses overseas and cheating on his taxes, all the while saying he was a proud American, when, in fact, his fortune was made destroying the people’s livelihoods.
And Rick Perry doesn’t want to show a little respect to the man who came in person to discuss solutions to Texas’ immigration problem.
Go Rick Perry. In the meantime, I’ll find you some Midol. Maybe it’ll help with your period.

Julia Garcia is a childish hag who has nothing better to do then get pissed at people who are not willing to get down and suck Obama balls maybe Julia wants a mouthful but the rest of is don’t and Julia dear your rude comments in turn gain rude remarks ! Stop trolling and stop worshipping a man and as far as I am concerned all the presidents after Kennedy sucked . White and mixed . So get over your PC attitude !

All the lefties getting asshurt over Perry not wanting to touch the hand of the devil!!!! Phahaha you followers of Obama are the problem with our country..You voted for him because he was black and thats the only reason.A high percentage of the people that voted for him were questioned and knew primarily nothing at all about his Politics but sure knew that they were so happy to have a first black president.Oh, but you all are so happy to still stand by this non-American Muslim while he destroys the very fabric that myself and all other soldiers now and before have fought for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You pieces of shit.F*** you very much

I respect both sides of the political scheme, but logic is logic. Number one, respect has to be earned and the governor felt Obama didn’t earn his, and since no one man or woman can be forced to shake hands, a separate and more personal gesture from a job title by the way, it makes this a silly and futile argument. Secondly, everyone loves to go back in history as an excuse. Hello, this is the hear and now, not however many years ago when things and times are obviously different. When a person resorts to personal attacks, you already lose , but then that’s how some people are, just plain rude. We have the right to share our opinions. In my opinion, Obama is making huge mistakes about this particular issue and he knows exactly what he is doing, destroying our country from the inside. I think it’s funny how people will support someone who is clearly out to destroy their own country. He has proved it by his actions and by his lack of action. I’m sure there will be a lot of rude retorts from the left here, but that’s all they really have left to support their position is through personal attacks and history lessons.

Wow…people, the issue isn’t whether Obama deserves respect or not, definitely a debate for another time. Does anyone see a problem within Mexico? Why in hell are there some 30,000 people trying to escape their hometown? I see a huge cry for help. Their government, police, etc., are supposedly run by the cartel. Most likely they don’t want to leave their parents or their homes. Something is very wrong with this picture for decades now and we keep looking the other way.

I have numerous relatives fighting in the Middle East in US Army and Air Force. They have sent pictures of little children, younger than 7, with guns in the streets, cheering when extremists have bombed Afghanistan civilians. From birth, these terrorist children learn to hate and kill anyone who threatens their existence. When our “President” recklessly allows illegal children in and sidekick MD Congresswoman Lee hands them lollipops, I am sickened at the state of our country. I love children and feel for them. But I “kinda” love my OWN children and our safety MORE!!!! Sarah Palin is right–Obummer needs to be impeached NOW!!!!!

I wish Obama would tell the Mexican presidente to prepare to take care of his own. I’m not meaning to throw them out like garbage, but at least force them to get emergency hospitals set up, they have ramped scabies so lets’ vaccinate them and give them some aid like food and medicines. ON THEIR SIDE OF THE BORDER!! Help the local churches accommodate their children!!!. They are bringing in diseases, potentially creating epidemics. Of catastrophic scale. They need to go back, and Obama needs to get full cooperation from the Mexican government, otherwise we cut aid, Immediately!

Wow so much hate on this page!! It saddens me to see that there can be so many fellow Americans with so much hatred towards a fellow American. Where were all of you when Mr. Bush was leading us down the road to an unnecessary war?

for those calling me racist: you havent seen racist yet, i will let you know that i live in houston where there are alot of racist mexicans that hate on white people, and yes i can be racist because i live in little mexico and i cant get a job because all the companies are hiring mexicans cause they will work for pennies and white men with labor experience cant get a job because companies here dont want to pay a decent wage, they want cheep labor, but with cheep labor comes cheep products houston has seen a decline in the value of products due to cheep labor and im getting tired of it i want a job and i want to pay my bills so stop bringing more mouths to feed before we take care of our own people. until i get a job all these whining hispanics can just suck my big toe, and take care of your own country instead of invading ours. whats gona happen when your drug cartels take up residents in the usa are you gona invade canada? good luck. and you wana see racist then yall can get your american hating beaner spic wet back asses back to that shit hole you call a country

Remember a handshake in Texas is is as legal as a contract between men that is if you can consider a lying cheat like Obama a man. I see him more as a childish spoiled brat that has sucked on the government tit since he was a baby and not in a good way either.

Rick Perry doesn’t want a picture of him shaking hands with President Obama circulating when he runs for President again. I think it’s a bit paranoid, but I feel like that’s primarily what’s probably behind it.

I am sick and tired of this embarrassment to my country and Office of the President of The United States of America (lesson to emotional liberals: “He” does NOT have the authority to create law “with his pen and phone”, nor does he have ANY authority whatsoever to direct or threaten Congress of the Supreme Court. Shame on you if you think these things are ok for a President to do). And then every weak kneed, victimized and spineless liberal who doesn’t know the meaning of work, bending over to kiss this guys tail pipe as if he were the Second Coming of the Great Almighty. F* Obama. Liberals forget this country was forged by a Revolution. Just tell me when the next one starts, I’ll be ready.

Why don’t you go to Mexico and help them with their problems there. That would be easier that bringing all them and their problems here for us to pay for. What happens when an American crosses the Mexican Border? ARRESTD>>>JAILED

He’s not my president ..I would not give him one bit of respect he is a traitor and he want’s to bring our country to its knees we all need to get together an grab some pitchforks go to d.c. and get him the hell out of there Nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Gov. Perry was doing what a man does when he is offered the hand of a person for whom he has zero respect…he refused it.
I applaud his courage in not knuckling under to this president by returning the handshake, which would have been seen as implying that he will cooperate with the worthless policies of this president. Some will say that he was not being gentlemanly, but that time is over…Obama is no gentleman, he is a liar and a narcissist – always seeking the next photo op to grin his way through… Good for you, Gov. Perry. I don’t agree with everything you say nor everything you do…but you are not my governor, you are Texas’ governor. …I do agree with your refusal of a handshake with Obuma…and I’m glad you did it. … …If the opportunity had been mine – I would not have shaken his hand. either.

@,Julia Garcia..As an American Citizen Perry does not have to result sect an usurper president period let alone shake his hand..Frankly not to many would piss on this imposter if he were on fire..And he did it all to himself with his egotistical racist narcessistic remarks of ant against him..Screw you and your mighty than thou usurper hero..He is piece of crap..A user of people and an exploiter of children..He as low as they make them.Grow up honey.research and educate your communist jackass.

Although I think POTUS is a giant TURD, he is still the POTUS and as such, deserves the respect granted to that office. Much like in the military, you don’t salute the man/woman, you salute the uniform

Julie graza.. Normally, it is polite to be respectful to his office. Yet, this President has shown disregard not only to the Citizens but to the governmental branch as a whole. He has used so many under handed tricks
To get what he wants for the sake of the citizens. But, has also disrespected many other countries in the process.

The way things are going , we need to take a Stand and our appointed leaders need to show us that they are willing to defend us. Texans are known for our Brazen ways. We respect to go get it attitude. As for Bush, you can find fault within every president but this one he has gone overboard.
I would of done the same thing. What better way to get a direct attention to a problem than to place it to the public so now we will be watching how it unfolds.

Thank you Rick Perry. Maybe all state officials should follow suit especially when the media is around.

It wasn’t too too long ago when our forefathers fought to protect our borders from the British.

Perhaps another “Million Man March” is in order except this time hold it along the Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California borders. I am not advocating for any violence. Just a peaceful demonstration.

He didn’t refuse to shake his hand, He said that he would prefer to have a meeting with him, that a meeting on the tarmac wasn’t enough. Damn Libtards get their little feelers hurt every time someone stands up for the principle of a matter. But again, you can’t argue with a Libtard…
